WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT ANGIE NELP...
Arizona State Head Coach Charli Turner Thorne ––
"Angie Nelp has the skillset and mindset to be an unbelievably successful head coach. Tulsa could not have found someone who will work harder and care more about her players and the program. We are so grateful to all she gave us at ASU but truth be told she has been ready to be a head coach since I hired her and she will very quickly show everyone she is an outstanding coach and an even better person."

University of Washington Head Coach Tina Langley
(formerly head coach at Rice University) ––
"During her time at Rice, Angie was an integral part of helping us establish a championship foundation for our program. Her work ethic and passion for the success of student-athletes both on and off the court are a perfect fit for The University of Tulsa. I'm so happy for Angie and her family. I know they will be dearly loved in the community of Tulsa."

WNBA's Connecticut Sun General Manager and Head Coach Curt Miller ––
"Tulsa has hit a home run with the hiring of Angie Nelp. I had the pleasure of coaching Angie in college and have stayed close with her throughout her coaching journey. She has a tremendous basketball IQ and has been a coach on the floor since her playing days. She is a proven winner but most importantly will be a tremendous role model and servant leader to her players."

WNBA's Atlanta Dream Head Coach Nicki Collen ––
"Tulsa is getting a good one. I was lucky enough to coach her during her playing career and Angie was one of the hardest workers I have ever coached. Her work ethic and attention to detail is what makes her a great leader, recruiter and coach. Angie is the total package - a great mentor with a servant mentality."
